Few questions for new owner :)
Hi guys, two little questions about my new d3
Why does my glovebox area 'fart' occasionally? It's something to do with the fans/blowers, think it's a vent opening/closing?
Randomly when I turned engine off the other day then started it less than a min later I was greeted with a dashboard lit up like a Xmas tree saying gearbox fault limited gears available and big F on the gearbox screen, then park brake fault, then something about the terrain response, I drove a few metres and turned it off again,left it a min and started up and everything was fine again! I have a normal generic code reader here I've borrowed off a pal to check something on my mrs car, will it tell me anything or should I not bother and find a proper one?
The fart is the flaps in the air vents closing and opening, they close when stationary or when you press recirculate to help prevent exhaust fumes entering the cabin in traffic
The Christmas tree can be caused by a low or weak battery, might be worth giving it a good charge, is the battery a LR branded one, maybe the original?

On my to do list
The farting on my to do list v soon .... guys on here are awesome and its a well known issue (most are)
I have the same issue !!!
.... there are a few threads on here using silicone spray (I think) and removal of the glove box.... use the spray in a very inaccessable place and it goes away forever and doesnt hang around like a bad smell
